Sures was elevated to co-president of UTA, along with David Kramer, in September 2017. Along with CEO Jeremy Zimmer and Kramer, he oversees some 350 agents and 1,000 employees with a focus on the TV divisions — scripted and non-scripted, news and broadcasting, talent and speakers divisions. Sures helped steer the 2014 acquisition of N.S. Bienstock — a preeminent indie outfit for news talent including Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Norah O’Donell — and, in 2017, the speakers bureau Greater Talent Network. He co-founded the UTA Foundation, which aids clients with philanthropy. In 2018, he was instrumental in the strategic sale of minority stakes in UTA by global firms Investcorp and PSP Investments. Sures joined UTA when it was founded in 1991.
